You need a Deep Cycle Battery and a battery box to keep it dry. The boat you posted has the motor mount already so that is a bonus. You may need to slide the frame forward on the pontoons after putting the weight of the battery and the motor so be aware of that.
An electric motor like a Minn Kota 30 and up. But when you get the motor, remove the bolt holding the head on the shaft and turn it 180 degrees so it is facing the same direction as the prop. Then carefully put the bolt back in Use a pick if need to make sure wires are out of the way and you don't short anything out.
Now the motor is set up to pull you for hands free trolling/fishing with steering with you fins.
You will need to license it now however and with the motor you will need the Invasive Species Sticker or have it included in the licensing being an Idaho resident.
You will need to put the numbers and the letters on the hull of your boat with the boating sticker. There are many ways to do this, but legally they should be visible on both sides of the boat like a regular boat.
You could rig up your truck to charge thee battery but you will need a charger. I have a Minn Kota charger I take with me and use a generator to charge batteries on multi day trips, but you should be able to get a whole day fishing on one charge as long as you don't gun it all day.
Remember to take your oars with you in case.
Enjoy!
